Review: Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris New Haircare Series

Haircare is the new skincare. That's what I learn from my hair pampering session with Hair Rituel by Sisley.

Sisley, a globally-renowned French skincare and makeup brand from Paris, has been around for over 40 years, and now it is expanding to the haircare line called "Hair Rituel by Sisley".

What we need for the hair's beauty is similar to what required for skin youthfulness. It combines concentrated amounts of plant-based extracts, essential oils, vitamins, minerals and proteins to create high performance formula. (We shall see how powerful it is in a bit...)

Unlike the ordinary hair products that come in multiple variants for scalp care and hair care, Hair Rituel by Sisley makes things simpler and more effective by having one single series to treat both the scalp and hair fibre at the same time.

For the scalp
It treats from the root by boosting our hair bulbs' cell mechanism.

For the hair
It acts on the visible part by rebuilding and nourishing the hair fibre to achieve radiance and shine.

The scent?
It is a unique olfactory signature - fresh and invigorating as our senses are intrigued with complex citrus and woody notes of verbena, lemon, peach blossom and amber.

The new brand offers a complete, specialised hair care routine in just 4 steps:

Clean, regenerate, fortify and beautify.

*All products are free from sulphate, paraben and silicon that may harm the hair.

Step 1: Clean / Detangle

What Hair Rituel by Sisley's shampoo can do that your ordinary shampoo can't, is its revitalizing function on the scalp and hair. Depending on your hair needs, there are 2 types of shampoos to choose from, and then you can finish it off with the specialised conditioner.

Just 3 minutes of application and rinsing off, the hair is instantly detangled, sheathed, silky and easy to style.

Step 2: Regenerate

It is recommended to use the Regenerating Hair Care Mask infused with 4 botanical oils for 3-4 times a week.

I find it very different from my usual hair mask, as I can apply this onto the scalp! A 10-minute application onto scalp and hair (then rinse off) can help in the overall regeneration of scalp and hair. You'll be amazed on how the hair becomes softer, stronger and shinier immediately.

Step 3: Fortify

The Revitalizing Fortifying Serum is a special scalp care product. As mentioned earlier, everything should begin from the root. So it is important to treat the scalp first. This serum can help to:

❤ Slow hair loss

❤ Protect hair's natural color

❤ Promote stronger and denser hair

❤ Instantly soothe the scalp and provide volume and tone

The staff from Sisley is applying the hair serum onto my scalp.

When I first try it, it feels like some hair tonic to me. Liquid-like texture and cool minty feeling on the scalp. One small pipette of serum is sufficient for whole hair. All you need is to separate your hair (dry / damp) into 3 sections, apply a pipette across all parts and massage in. Let it absorbed into the scalp and do not rinse.

Gentle massage into the scalp is very helpful for better absorption.

Step 4: Beautify

The last step before styling is the Precious Hair Care Oil for instant glossiness and long-lasting nutrition. It is pleasantly lightweight (not the greasy / sticky type), and easy to apply on damp or dry hair before brushing. Just few drops will do; Don't over apply.

To my surprise, the effect on my hair is so significant!

On the left side, you can see my bleached and colored hair is usually dry and frizzy. Whereas, on the right, the hair oil instantly restores shine, softness and smoothness to the hair! Even without blowing / styling, my hair is already photo-ready! The instantaneous result is just amazing, and I absolutely love my smooth hair now.

Of course, it is not your ordinary drugstore brand but the price comes with the benefits you get.

I love how the miraculous hair care products transform my dry hair instantly into shiny, smooth and lustrous hair especially the Precious Hair Care Oil. After several uses, this series helps restore the hair's "energy" by stimulating the scalp and strengthening the hair. Hopefully, after 6 weeks of use, I can see lesser hair loss, as proven by the initial studies.
